Fire pump inspection report checklist
Fire pumps are critical to a fire protection system and need to be inspected to make sure they’re in good working condition. this fire pump inspection report is divided into 2 sections: the owner’s section and inspector’s section. the owner’s section asks the owner about the fire pump usage information. the inspector’s section was subdivided into 3 parts: tests, results and fire pump maintenance. complete the inspection by having both the owner’s and the inspector’s signatures to validate the audit. generate reports on the spot and share electronically using your mobile, tablet, or ipad.
What does this form include?
This form contains 47 sections:
Part I - Owner's Section
- Is the pump in service?
- Has the fire pump remained in service since the last inspection?
- Was the system of which the fire pump is a part) free of actuation of devices or alarms since the last inspection?
Note to owner: Periodic tests of transfer switches and emergency generators are to be performed by a
This inspection is
Inspector's Section
- Pump house/room proper temperature (at least 70 degrees F for diesels without engine heaters or 40 degrees for others)?
- Ventilating louvers free to operate?
- Suction, discharge and bypass valves open?
- Piping free from leaks?
- Suction and system pressure gauges normal?
- Suction reservoir, if provided, full?
Electric Motor Driven Pumps
Diesel Engine Driven Pumps
Record engine running time meter reading.
Weekly Test Items
- Pump started automatically?
Record starting pressure. (PSI)
Record suction & discharge pressure while running. (PSI)
Record time for motor to accelerate to full speed.
For reduced voltage or reduced current staring record time controller is on first step.
For automatic stop controllers, record time pump runs after starting.
Diesel Engine-Driven Fire Pumps
Record suction & discharge pressure while running.
Record time for engine to crank.
Record time for engine to reach running speed.
Steam Turbine-Driven Pumps
Record pump starting pressure, suction and discharge pressures while running.
Record steam pressure gauge reading.
Record time for turbine to reach running speed.
Annual pump test was run using the following method.
2. Annual Tests
- Method A:Discharge of flow through hose steams. Flow readings taken at each hose steam.
- Method B:Discharge through by-pass flow meter to drian or suction reservoir. Flow readings taken by flow meter.
- Method C:Discharge through by-pass flow meter directly returned to pump suction. Flow readings taken by flow meter.
NOTE: At least once every three years method A or B must be used.
